I am aware, the point was Alan what said ''We've removed a bunch of code using those defines already (I've mostly used #unifdef to do so, with manual editing only for special cases). We still need the #ifdefs for sun & sparc, but prefer the __sun & __sparc forms so they still work in strict standards compliance mode. '' I was look for a common set of defines and systems that are defined in all libraries. Obviously, it is a for a user no help if FOO is defined in one and removed in others. more over, i would argue for one define per system. If need this can handled if #ifdef. Now i would like to see what ancient code can be removed. re, wh _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
